Three bedrooms on one level, a big backyard, and a block where neighbors actually know one another. This classic Loyal Heights home has been updated over the years without losing the character of an older Seattle house. Hardwood floors run through the main level, where the kitchen opens to the dining and living rooms and all three bedrooms sit together. Downstairs is a large rec room with wet bar, oversized fourth bedroom and full bath. Out back, the fully fenced yard has a lawn, mature landscaping and a patio beneath the pergola, plus a detached garage. The less-visible work has been done too: high-efficiency heat pump, main-floor electrical rewire, sewer lining, attic insulation, newer water heater, decommissioned oil tank and updated appliances. Neighbors know each other by name and gather for potlucks in the street a couple of times a year. Larson’s Bakery, Met Market, Beast & Cleaver, local parks and Loyal Heights Elementary are all close by. It’s a particularly good little pocket of Loyal Heights, with real neighborhood life around it.
